What is the “New” option on the front page when it’s available? Stuff I’ve dismissed before can show back up, and there’s often newer stuff in “unread” that’s not in “New”

Trying to figure out why I can’t see or don’t have an ignore feature here. Is it a trust level thing? I’ve applied the mute option but it doesn’t do what I want, which is to not see posts or anything else from certain users. In the technical thread @womanhood_deferred (thank you!) suggested ignore appeared when particular users’ profiles were clicked on but I haven’t tried that yet. I’m that opposed to interactions of any kind with people I want to ignore.

More people from the U.S. than the U.K. and Australia combined, so best not.

I think it’s here, in any particular user’s profile?

I don’t think we can know if anyone in particular has viewed our own profile…

You will notice that the grey box above that says “Normal” has a little triangle indicating it is a drop-down. In it, you should be able to select “Ignored” and you will no longer see messages from that user. I know it works because I have used it. If you do not see that option it may be a TL-level function.

If you go to your user page, then preferences, then the users section, you should be able to add to your ignore list from there without interacting with user profiles (other than your own) at all.

Thank you and hi! But this is all I see when I do as suggested:

Must be a trust level setting the admins have set here. Give it a few days to reach a higher trust level, then I would guess all will be resolved.

So, I somehow just joined a group (?) here called agents of b.a.d.a.s.s.

It is now listed under my username like a title.

I’ve never seen such a thing on Discourse, either in the old place or here.

I am only moderately badass in real life, so I probably shouldn’t really be here.

Edit, never mind, it looks like a flair much like the quiltbag thing.

as a new, basic level user to this BBS, am i limited to how many upload images per day/24hr period?
i seem to be having trouble uploading memes and/or images in various threads. i get the only 5 per post, but just one image in multiple posts (not the same image) have endless “processing upload” that goes nowhere.
i have tried resizing to smaller file size and same thing.
i must be doing something wrong.
i love playing the meme game in Melizmatic’s Memeversation, but cannot.
i assume it is a trust level thing?

Is there a way to turn off email notifications? I didn’t see one in prefs.

Thank you for your kind attention.

This is accurate.

Ignore is a TL2 feature by default:

I showed the requirements for TL2 here:

For most people, it’s probably just a matter of time, like @orenwolf suggested.

I’m not seeing anything in the settings that should be limiting the number of images that can be uploaded per day by anyone, let alone by trust level. Are you saying that you can upload a few images, but then stop being able to?

Is there a way or place to know what level we’re at?

Check your badges in your account view. Each level should have its own badge.

Is there a light theme?

I poked around settings and didn’t see anything and googles says it may not a user setting.

Thanks.
